Officials broke the rules. The NCAA admits it. But correcting it would violate the rules. fricking brilliant.

These are the same people who want the federal government to trust them with an antitrust exemption & dig them out of their own hole.

Nothing can be fixed without an anti trust exemption. Unfortunately you can only get those from one source.
Or unionize the players and collectively bargain. And watch the fanbase walk away for a decade after the first work stoppage.
Damned either way I guess.

The NCAA has never been a bigger laughing stock than it is right now and they are doing anything possible to make it look like they aren't a laughing stock. But, everything they do is just dumber than the last.

We need to all break away and form a new league with Saban leading the way leaving the NCAA behind.

The NCAA is beyond fixing. The league doesn’t deserve an antitrust exemption, but if they do somehow get one:
1. It needs to be extremely narrow
2. There needs to be a new / separate governing body independent from the NCAA in charge of oversight of that component.
The NFL has almost had theirs revoked on multiple occasions for abuse, and the NCAA is about 100x worse than the NFL.
Even just the blatant hypocrisy of continuing to claim amateurism while actively seeking an exemption from antitrust is itself hilarious.
Personally, I think the ONLY half-decent proposition in the entire PCSA as it stands currently are transfer limitations… But that problem could also be fixed if they admitted pay for play & allowed direct contracts.
Also, salary caps on revenue sharing from media or conferences can’t do shite about NIL. SCOTUS has already made that clear. So this would just give the NCAA more power without leveling the playing field.
If the NCAA had a track record of integrity, competence, and fair enforcement it might be a different story… Unfortunately, that is not the case & I want to see those frickers stay in the locker that the law has been shoving them in for the past decade.

It was pretty sad 3 years ago that they were the collegiate sports governing body.
It’s reprehensible that they are still the governing body today.

Yeah, this is still a head scratcher.

It'll just be NCAA 2.0

They can't go back and retroactively change the result of the game because gambling money has already been paid based on the result as it stands and they're not touching that can of worms.
For those who oppose the PCSA: how do you realistically propose to fix college sports without it, or something like it?

That's not the NCAA's problem and sportsbooks don't work like that anyway

It’s all about money, man. That’s all that really matters.

1 - What exactly are you referring to?
2 - If they broke the rules in the 1st place, how can they break rules CORRECTING what they did wrong to begin with?

Further the penalties should be criminal, right now the legislation only has civil penalties/fines, this is proven to not be a deterrent. All this tells me is that the NCAA wants a return to the form that caused the problems to begin with without any real consequence or incentive to be better.
I realize it seems stupid to think jail time might be possible for something as pedestrian as recruiting violations.
But the current legislation seems like a whole lot of functional nothing

the NCAA owes nothing to the gambling community..... their sole job is the athletes on the field....
